I wish you would stop lying. You are not trying to cure stroke, you're being fucking lazy and just putting out prevention press releases. If you were curing stroke you would list these problems in stroke you are working on.  

 These minor problems still need solving. 

1. 30% get spasticity NOTHING THAT WILL CURE IT.

2. At least half of all stroke survivors experience fatigue Or is it 70%?

Or is it 40%?

NOTHING THAT WILL CURE IT.

3. Over half of stroke patients have attention problems.

NOTHING THAT WILL CURE IT.

4.  The incidence of constipation was 48%.

5. No EXACT stroke protocols that address any of your muscle limitations.

NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL ADDRESS IT.

In the Fight Against Stroke, You’re the Cure! - National Stroke Association

In the Fight Against Stroke,
You’re the Cure!

As a member of the National Stroke Association (NSA) your efforts have helped to reduce the occurrence and impact of stroke. As you have likely heard by now, the NSA’s board of directors has decided to fold its efforts into those of the American Stroke Association (ASA) division of the American Heart Association (AHA). As part of that transition, I want to invite you to join the AHA/ASA’s You’re the Cure advocacy network.
You will be in good company, as you join a grassroots network of stroke and heart disease survivors, caregivers, medical providers and researchers- all working together to create healthier communities. Your voice will be a powerful and important addition as we contact lawmakers and regulatory bodies about the role they can play in our goal of finding a cure for and preventing future heart disease and stroke.
While we all celebrated the passage of the Furthering Access to Stroke Telemedicine (FAST) Act and the repeal of Medicare’s caps on outpatient therapy services in 2018, there is still much to do. We will need your help. Please sign up to be a You’re the Cure advocate today.
In addition to stroke policy, You’re the Cure advocates are fighting for medical research funding, smoke-free public places, strong emergency and healthcare systems, and so much more, all with the goal of eradicating stroke and heart disease.
I look forward to all we’ll accomplish together! And remember, in the fight against stroke and heart disease, You're the Cure!
